About Sustainability at CCSF

Our aim is to develop a culture of sustainability at City College of San Francisco, a culture in which the concept and practice of sustainability is infused college-wide into everything that we do—not only with respect to facilities and operations, but also with respect to education, training, and student support services.

Put simply, sustainability requires that we limit our negative impact on the natural, social, and economic environments, while at the same time positively impacting these environments.

But to make this happen, students, employees, and the community need information about existing and new sustainability-related courses, programs, activities, operations, opportunities, and lifestyles.

We invite you to use this website as a central resource for greening curriculum and daily practices collegewide, some of which include:

reducing solid waste;

increasing recycling and reuse (includes not only paper/aluminum/glass/plastic recycling but also how best to share excess supplies/furniture/equipment/machinery internally, etc.);
